New happenings!!

It was great to see everyone at Thanksgiving. I am already missing everybody. I wish we could get together more often. I need to get with everyone and find out what the plans are for Christmas. I am already looking forward to it. I was unable to see my parents and brothers' family. Maybe I can see them at Christmas time. I also wanted to say thank-you to the Hoover/Thomas/Branch family for being so sweet to my sister and her family. I think Neal met his first girlfriend!

When we left for Thanksgiving we went by Dorothy's Ranch. It was the first time I had gotten to see it. I can see why Joel loves it so much. Such a peaceful place. If he ever comes up missing that's the first place I will look. If he had a choice he would go there and never go back in to town! I did not realize that there was so much to running a place like that. I listened to Joel, Bobby and the Walkers discuss everything and was in awe. I enjoyed watching the Walker twins play and giggle together. It reminded me of me and my sister.

As far as the Baby goes he's getting bigger everyday and his kicks are getting much stronger. Joel says he's already in trouble for tearing up things-referring to my belly. Joel is becoming a little more fascinated with the belly. At first he just laughed when he saw it. He will actually touch it now. When I see my sister, it gives me hope that I may actually return to normal. She looks great, it's truly amazing what the body can do. So far I am still enjoying the pregnancy and overall it has been very easy.
In case you haven't heard I am having surgery on Tuesday. I am very uneasy about it but I have no choice-my mouth is bothering me so much that I cannot sleep. I should have had my wisdom teeth out a long time ago. Apparently the procedure is safe for pregnant women and my OBGYN has been in touch with my Oral Surgeon.

In other news I finally decided on a new vehicle. After all the looking we went with our first choice. I have never driven and SUV, it's big but I am getting used to it. Big enough to fit more kids! Hahaha
I hope eveyone is feeling better. Jan was so sick during Thanksgiving and now Nicole is very sick too.
Were so excited about Erica and Beau's little girl Sadie. She will be here just after ours and I am sure they will be fast friends.

On another note Joel and Henri got a call from another Sheriff that wants them to come to work for him. I thought he was through with the drug stuff. Apparently he has made big impressions on people from his past in that line of work. I do not want to move again, but I know that he is very bored and under employed where he is currently working. His current employers do not encourage drug interdiction and that's really the only thing that Joel enjoy's doing. I don't think that his employers or even his coworkers realize how good he is at that stuff.
Anyway he was always made the right decisions for us so I expect the same this time.

Keep us in your prayers.
